Chardie Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Not sure that I could stomach the boeuf tartare with the raw egg though! Anybody had this?- Only caught the last few minutes of the programme but will be watching all of it next week.Becky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 FANTASTIC!! Just as Rick Stein only knows how to make people drool over a plate of food!!I am watching it too! Must have been a jinx because I had cooked on Sunday night a big pot of 'Petit Salé aux Lentilles' to last me a while and polished off the last of it! as I was watching the program...... and that lovely dopey cattle in Bazas! Reminded me of my uncles' farm in 79!..... See! Lovingly looked after cattle gives you butter melting meat!... I was truly HOMESICK!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anybody had this?- Only caught the last few minutes of the programme but will be watching all of it next week. Becky[/quote]Yup!Best one I ever tasted was in Paris in the late 70's. It was just melting yum!yum!! and it did not even taste of raw meat as most would expect it. If done with succulent, properly reared/butchered/hanged beef you will have the best 'Tartare' which only needs very little chopped parsley, capers, gerkhins, shallots, dash of tabasco, sea-salt and black pepper and the freshest free-range egg on top! Truly yum!yum!!I remember the place very well but do you think I can remember the name of it... Well!... it was my birthday that day and I was with the love of my life (then) !!! How life changes..... I still like to eat my 'Tartare' as and when I can get good meat to make it!... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fantine<br><br><br><br>Susie Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 The book to accompany the series is out in September and you can pre-order it on Amazon at a discounted price.My OH loves Carpaccio of beef. Our local resto had it on last year's menu but not this year's, so for his birthday I asked for it to be made especially, which they did do - a massive platter of it sufficient for 4 people for just 12 euros, delicious!

Russethouse Posted August 24, 2005 Author Share Posted August 24, 2005 My husband ordered it once - in that restaurant that might be called Le Coin D'or in Ouistenham (Sp?) Of course he had no idea what it was, enjoyed it - then realised what he had eaten - not bad for an ex veggie !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jc Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 A few years back my wife and I were in a restaurant in Meze(34) and saw what looked like Rick at one of the other tables-just enjoying his food-no cameras about.He was wearing the same blue shirt as in the film-must have been when they filmed it.

Ian 56 Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 It is a great series. In the first programme he visited a routiere in Brittany that served eels in cider. I believe it is near Rennes. Does anyone know where it is?ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funnily enough he was wearing (the same?) blue shirt - just checked the photo. He's extremey shy and has a very limp handshake, but is a really nice guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave and aileen Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 Hello,The programme is wonderful, another book to add to the Christmas list.
